GrayFocus

Make distracting websites less addictive by converting them to grayscale.

GrayFocus — Make Distracting Websites Less Addictive Tired of opening YouTube "for one video" and emerging an hour later? GrayFocus removes the visual stimulation that makes social media so hard to put down — without blocking a single website. How it works Color is a core part of what makes social feeds addictive. Bright thumbnails, vivid photos, and attention-engineered interfaces are designed to trigger impulsive scrolling. GrayFocus converts any website you choose to grayscale, making it visually calm and far less compelling — so you stay intentional instead of reactive. Key features 🎯 Selective grayscale — Choose exactly which sites get greyed. YouTube for tutorials stays grey. Your banking app stays colorful. You're in control. ⏰ Auto-schedule — Set a daily time window (e.g. 7pm–11pm) when grayscale activates automatically. Wind down in the evening without thinking about it. ⏸ Per-site snooze — Need colors for a specific task? Snooze any site for 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes. Grayscale restores itself automatically. 🎚️ Intensity control — Prefer 70% gray instead of full black-and-white? Adjust globally or per site. 🔕 Global pause — Pause all protection in one tap when you genuinely need a break from the rules. ⌨️ Keyboard shortcut — Toggle protection on the current site with Alt+Shift+G. No popup needed. 🔒 Privacy first — Zero data collection. No accounts. No cloud sync. Everything stays on your device. Why not just block websites? Blocking creates frustration and workarounds. GrayFocus doesn't punish you — it simply makes the scroll less rewarding, so you stay in control of your own attention. Who is GrayFocus for? - Professionals who lose hours to LinkedIn or Twitter during the workday - Students who need to research without falling into YouTube rabbit holes - Anyone who wants to reduce screen time without giving up access to content - People who've tried website blockers and found them too aggressive Works on any distraction sites. Simple, focused, effective GrayFocus does one thing well. No Pomodoro timers. No habit dashboards. No AI coaches. Just a calm, lightweight tool that makes the internet a little less addictive — one grey page at a time. $7.99 · One-time payment · Lifetime access · 14-day free trial --- Less color. More focus.
